We send out our food boxes to our members twice a month. Members receive their boxes every second and fourth week in the month. Our members also have the option to customize their box delivery frequency at any time by request. Remember, you can shop ANYTIME at our online grocery store with your membership to get discounts.
Are program is all about sustainability. Paying quarterly allows us to deliver quality products consistently. Most people don't understand a farmer's life. Farmer Jones and his partnering farmers must stay planned at least 6 months at a time in order to ensure we are capable of delivering quality foods. Quarterly also helps the member by allowing the ability to create new budgets for food purchasing for the next 3 months. Our goal is to eventually off set and surpass your current visits to the grocery store.
You receive mulitple benefits besides discounts at our online store and monthly boxes sent to your doorstep. Our members also receive discounts at local resturants around the state when they present their Sweet Jones Farms membership card. We add new partners every quarter so be on the lookout for updates about where you can use your discount card.
The membership fee helps the farm sustain safe farming practices. About 70% goes directly into the farm to help with proper natural organic farming guidelines. Growing all-natural food isn't cheap so the membership fee helps allow us to provide the freshest food to our members. About another 25% goes towards savings for our summer camp program and our #FarmToKitchenAcademy. These programs teaches kid how to grow food, culinary skills, leadership and more.
We send out email blasts to let our members know ahead of time when we will start taking pre-orders for an item. Most of our pre-order items are beef (all cuts), honey and honey combs (twice a year) and poultry (every 12 weeks) and more. We are VERY strict about our pre-order customers meaning first come first serve! We are a farm that mainly caters to our members more than to the masses. Note: Our pre-orders sell out fast, so always be deligent about our pre-order specials.
No. Your donations directly to the farm is not tax deductible. But, we are partnered with numerous amounts of non-profit organizations that allow our donors to make a strategic donation so it can be tax decutible. Please email or call us if you are a donor looking to make a donation and it is tax deductible for you.
We ship food to our non-local members in a thermafrost EPS cooler with either frozen cold packs or dry ice. Are insulated coolers fit inside cardboard shipping boxes. We make sure the food is well wrapped in foil to protect it against any postal x-ray examination exposure. If you are local, it will be delivered by our personal fleet to your doorstep.
